The Cuban Tree Frog will eat anything they can fit in their mouths
This is a photo of a Cuban Tree Frog taken at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park in Florida, the largest state park in Florida. While these frogs are by no means rare, this is a unique photo. I took this while out hiking through the wetlands with a friend. We were in ankle to knee deep water, far from humanity, when we came across a styrofoam cup. We went over to pick it up and inside was this Cuban tree frog.
These frogs are survivors. They will eat anything they can fit in their mouths, and like other invasive species in Florida, they breed a lot. Cuban tree frogs, as the name suggests, are native to the Caribbean islands.
I enjoy this photo because of the incredible detail in the frog’s eye. I don’t enjoy this photo because of where this frog was found, in a styrofoam cup out in the middle of the Florida wetlands. That is disturbing. This is yet another example of how our single use products are ending up in even the most remote areas of the world.
